So here I am watching Harry Potter and the Prizoner of Azkaban in spanish because I don't have remote to change the language! But, at least I'm learning how to say wand in spanish (varieta, but pronounce the V like a B). This weekend was full of events because it was Becca's 20th birthday! Friday night we went to an apartment carrete because it was one of her brother's friends' birthday. It was really nice because the second we walked in, we were welcomed like old friends! We walked around and kissed everyone on the cheek and made some piscola (pisco liquor and coke). Suprising, almost everyone there spoke close to perfect english either from MTV or studying abroad in the US. It was such a bad influence to be around english-speakers because we started speaking in english too! Learning names was hard too because there are so many people, and all the names were the same but with different accents. Like Sebastian, Joaquin (like Phoenix, the actor), Cristobal, Francisa, and more more more. The apartment was awesome, and there was a balcony outside where people were smoking and conversing. All in all, it was super mellow and chill and I met some phenom people who were coming to Becca's Saturday night!
Saturday was me waking up in Becca's awesome little trundle bed under her real one and then walking home on a beautiful day. It was one of those moments when you pop in your headphones and listen to a great song and its finally sunny and warm outside and you think, I cannot believe I am in Santiago, Chile. And I love it!
I had a big lunch with my family (two courses) and I can tell my spanish is getting better because now I can understand almost everything that they were talking about! I'm still a little intimidated to respond back but that will come in a week or two, at most. At ten-thirty, Cote, Rodrigo, and I arrived at Becca's house and there was so much food! Everyone got there by twelve and somehow, I got dragged to the back of the house to witness some of the best free-styling raps in spanish with sick beats. The boys were going crazy! One was doing beats, the other was rapping, and then switching from spanish to english. I was very impressed. Then it came to be my turn! It was either the peer pressure or the pisco, but either way I found myself rapping in english in a foreign country surrounded by multiple Chileans giving me a beat. An hour later, Becca and I were battling back and forth and somehow it got on video on my camera. That is one video that will not hit the web, ever.
We left late, and today I slept until one-thirty. We had another big lunch, this one with a little too much food for me, and then I put on Harry Potter. Becca came over, as it was her actual birthday today!, and we finished Chamber of Secrets. Hence why Prizoner is on now. It is time to clean my room, eat some 'once' instead of dinner, and do my homework. I don't have to be at school tomorrow until one-twenty for class on Mondays! Love it.
Again, I wil be back soon! Thanks for the comment Mom, love you!
